Patient sues Clinic for administering the wrong injection. Nurse testifies that she cannot now remember which vial she used because she has administered thousands of injections since then. Minutes after the incident, while the details were fresh, Nurse wrote a medication-error report and signed it after reading it for accuracy. The report says, "I pulled the blue-labeled vial from Bin C and injected it before noticing the patient's allergy band."
Patient asks to read the report to the jury and to admit the report as an exhibit. Clinic objects. Patient also offers an anonymous online post from the same evening stating, "Clinic keeps allergy vials in Bin C; someone is going to get hurt." Patient cannot identify the poster but argues the post has strong circumstantial trustworthiness because it appeared before any public news report.
How should the court rule on the medication-error report and the anonymous post? Discuss recorded recollection, exhibit use, residual hearsay, trustworthiness, and notice.
